Hotel Review of the Westin Hotel Seattle

Ok so first of all I am a total Priceline addict.. I like having to leave it up to chance.. I get so hung up on every review etc.. I have booked this hotel at least 12 nights in the past six months !

The staff is fabulous! My husband and I spend about a thrid of our year or more in hotels for work and vacations and almost always encounter one problem.. just life... but I have never once on any stay encountered a rude valet or staff member in any manner at the Westin.. for some reason I always get the same cleaning lady who speaks zero english and is so sweet always trying to get what I am saying.. she is always quick with a request for more towels or anything I might need nodding and smiling while she cleans everything she looks at.

The rooms are large and we always have a fabulous view with the floor to ceiling windows.. we have always had a king room and find the pull out bed great when we have our kids with us. The bed is fabulous!! The location is the BEST!! We love to walk down to Pike's Place or any of the great shopping nearby.

I will agree that paying for wireless and parking makes me crazy! But the first time we arrived to this hotel and balked at the cost of valet the valet attendant was quick to show us parking not 2 seconds from the building for $12.00 a day. But I have to make mention that valet staff here is so friendly and efficient we decided to treat ourselves to their good service on our last few trips rather than park elsewhere. If they would include parking and internet or at least offer them to loyal customers for free like some other hotels I would forgo Priceline to ensure I get the Westin every time I visit Seattle.

Comfort- you never want to leave your bed, rooms have all the amenities and the views are breathtaking
Class- elegant, sophisticated, yet modern establishment
Customer service- you can count on the staff to see to your needs

I stayed one night at the Westin Seattle for business. The hotel lobby is pretty large and well kept. My room in the North tower was clean and modern. The bed was comfortable and the room had a nice flat screen tv.

The fitness center within the hotel is free of charge. Only your room key is needed for access. For a hotel, the fitness center is quite nice with cardio equipment and a variety of actual free weights. Most hotels do not have as good equipment in their fitness centers.

You have to pay for wireless internet from your room, which may be an issue for people considering the price paid for the room alone. I didn't have to park a vehicle, but if I had to it would have cost a pretty penny as one of the nearby parking garages would've been utilized.

The location of the hotel is good. It is a block or two from Westlake Center which is a mall in downtown Seattle. The Space Needle and Pike Place are short cab rides.

Overall the hotel is pretty nice and I had no complaints with my room. Paying for Internet and parking are considerations for others wishing to stay here.

This hotel must not be doing well, based on the way that they try to get as much money out of their "guests" as possible.

Parking- $72 for 2 days! There are several downtown hotels that have cheaper or free parking.

'Mini Bar'- $5 for a candy bar, 7.25 for a Budweiser (hahaha). The management should put the refrigerators back in! They obviously had them once, but now you can check in your leftovers, tag them and staff will take them down to some cooler somewhere, yeah right.

$179 for a standard room, with double beds even. Worst night of sleep I've had at a hotel in the US.

Grouchy 'express service' staff.

The biggest insult: $16 for 24 hours worth of internet. Uh, where's the wi-fi folks? In a happening city like Seattle I certainly expect free wi-fi (like all the hotels in Portland... and others we've stayed at in Seattle)

The only reason we went there in the first place was because my daughter had a dance competition there.

I added one star because they didn't have a bible in the room.

I booked my room at the Seattle Westin after having a great experience at the Portland Westin. The two hotels really can't be compared.
The Westin Seattle is an over-priced hotel with few amenities. My room, on the 17th floor was adequate. The bathroom was TINY (two people wouldn't fit in there) with a small tub/shower combo. The "heavenly" showerhead had no water pressure, and I had to sqaut down to get my head wet because the shower head was placed so low. The couch in the room had suspicious stains on it, as did the curtains. The walls were scuffed up too. The wall colors were sea-foam green and just seemed tired and worn out.

Room service is out-of-control. A breakfast of just oatmeal would have cost me over $14. The small cafe was adequate, but was limited on choice there too.

Parking at the Westin is $36/day, which is ridiculous, and they don't offer free wi-fi.

Be wary of conferences and events taking place in the ballrooms. A fraternity was holding a winter ball, and their behaviour in the lobby was outrageous-- drunkenness, making out, one girl's dress was even rolled up to her waist.

I don't think I will stay at the Westin Seattle again, it just didn't meet my expectations.
